Log Text: A true palimpsest with remains of different periods all jumbled up together. At one point a prehistoric round house wall is overlain by a medieval field boundary which in turn underlies a post-medieval wall. Truly amazing. This is the sort of thing that you usually only see on excavations.
Glasscombe Ball North
Date Added: 29th Jan 2019
Site Type: Stone Row / Alignment
Country: England (Devon)
Visited: Yes on 9th Mar 2013. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 4 Access 2
Glasscombe Ball North submitted by SandyG on 29th Sep 2014. A line of prostrate granite slabs protruding through dead molinia does not offer a great photographic opportunity. One day I will return with my pole and see if I can improve on this offering. The fact that no stones remain standing strongly supports the idea that they have been deliberately felled. View from the north east with the terminal cairn on the skyline.

Visited: Yes on 9th Mar 2013. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Butterdon Hill Row submitted by SandyG on 27th Sep 2014. In places along the length of the row the alignment is formed by series of small stones placed very close together. This is a common feature of the Dartmoor rows although their tiny size means that this characteristic is often overlooked.

The Longstone (Piles Hill) submitted by SandyG on 27th Sep 2014. The Longstone and friend. The stone on the right is a later boundary marker. There is a history of legal disputes concerning this boundary and the new stone will have been erected to resolve one of these. A remarkable juxtaposition of stones with many stories to tell.

Butterdon Stone Circle submitted by SandyG on 27th Sep 2014. Cairn at the southern end of the row. The large recumbent slabs surround the cairn and probably represent either a once impressive kerb or stone circle.

Maen Mawr submitted by AngieLake on 8th Aug 2005. This view of Maen Mawr looks north towards the even-shaped flat-topped mountain that blocks the north aspect of this lovely symmetrical valley. The larger Fan Brycheiniog mountain is out of sight to the NW of this view. Behind me is Cerrig Duon circle, overlooking the alternate E/W folds either side of the southern slopes of the valley from the semi-circular south end of this platform.
